What Commercial Building Owners Often Overlook When Prepping for Summer (And How We Can Help)

As temperatures rise, so do the demands on your commercial property. Summer may seem like smooth sailing, but the reality is, it’s a critical time for proactive property management. Many building owners don’t realize how a few overlooked details can lead to costly problems or lost tenant satisfaction.

Here are a few key things that often get missed, and how we help make sure your building runs smoothly all season long:

1. HVAC Isn’t Just About the Thermostat

Most owners check if the A/C is running, but is it running efficiently? Clogged filters, aging parts, or outdated thermostats can drive up utility bills and reduce tenant comfort. We coordinate seasonal HVAC inspections and routine maintenance to prevent mid-summer breakdowns and keep systems operating at peak performance.

2. Irrigation and Landscaping Need a Game Plan

An overwatered lawn, dead landscaping, or malfunctioning sprinkler system doesn’t just affect curb appeal. It can waste water and money. We handle irrigation system checks, partner with trusted landscapers, and schedule regular upkeep so your property always makes a strong first impression.

3. Parking Lot Problems Multiply in Heat

Hot weather can worsen existing pavement cracks, fade striping, and create safety hazards. We coordinate timely repairs, sealcoating, and restriping to protect your property value and reduce liability.

4. Tenants Need Quick Support (Especially Now)

In the summer, everything from rising energy bills to HVAC concerns can lead to more frequent tenant requests. Our responsive property management team fields tenant needs promptly so you’re not the one getting the urgent calls or risking a renewal issue.

5. You Deserve a Summer Off, Too

Owning property is demanding, but managing it shouldn’t be. When you partner with Ferlito Group, we take care of the seasonal checklists, coordinate vendors, handle tenant concerns, and keep your property running like a well-oiled machine.
